Raul's Transfer Targets: Summer 2019

[field442]

Not long left now but I’d be more worried if we didn’t have any targets identified for all these positions (midfield still worries me a bit).

I am so glad that the transfer window shuts before the season starts, it does my head in when the the few weeks of the season are overshadowed by transfer activity. In what other business would you start a project without the team in place, hoping that it can be added to part way through!

I would like it to go one step further, bin the January window and shut 31st July so that all teams have their squads sorted for the whole season and prepared before the first kick off. Either that or allow transfers all year round at any time, the whole deadline day circus is getting pretty tired.

Quite literally 4 weeks from now.

Need a signing a week and thats not including departures

That is true. Chances that Tierney would've been able to go on tour due to his injury would've been slim anyway. Zaha still at AFCON so he wont be ready for the first game regardless.

I'm still expecting only two more and maybe one on loan.

Are you forgetting that we have Jenkinson? Carl Jenkinson..

Oh yeah. So we need two RBs then.

@The_Playmaker

Don't think so no.

 

[field442]

No Amaechi. Wow.

No point giving him game time if he intends to **** off.

I know you can't look at thinks in a black and white kind of way, but we've sold 0 dissapointing players from last year's squad, and we have signed 0 first team players. wtf.

Most people on this forum wanted at least 3 players like Mustafi, Elneny, Jenko sold as well as sign 3-4 first squad players.

We've got it all to do in the last 4 weeks to consider this a succesful window, and regardless as to whether we do it or not, some of the players we bring in wont even have a pre season with us. We are 100% dropping points at the beginning of the season because of this, we see it every ****ing year.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

No Bielik either.

 

[Ricardinho]

Whys he even lunging in like that. Such a plonker.

Guess this confirm that Bielik won't be here next season. Maybe Amaechi too which is a shame. Hope it's loans for both of them.

Youse said bielek still on holiday after his involvement with the polish team.

Better view. Torreira, Guendouzi, Elneny and Iwobi the only absentees. Even without Kosc we'll be selling Chambers/Mustafi before we buy another CB.

 

[Sanchez11]

When you count that list we have 16-17 first team players plus holding. We are way short depth wise let alone 1st 11.

I make it 23 (24 if including koscielny)

More than the supposedly 25 man limit. I thought it strange that a club would've limited to the amount they can take on tour. Surely can take whoever they want.

Yes looking at it like that is slightly worrying.

• Keepers we're fine.
• Right backs could do with backup to Hector but if he's gonna be back early not as big of a problem
• CB's wise numbers we're fine. Quality not so much. Ideal world Mustafi/Chambers out for a proper CB. But 5 on the books atm.
• Left back we obviously want Tierney so Monreal or Kolasinac likely to go because we won't keep 3 IF we get Tierney.
• CM is weird, if Elneny goes then bring one in, if not then we have too many numbers along with Willock who needs game time.
• Desperate for first team wingers, we have none.
• Fine at CAM unless Mikky/Özil are miraculously sold.
• Strikers obviously fine.
